So, you’re ready to teach English in China—but where do you even begin?
Between researching schools, navigating visa paperwork, and trying to find a trustworthy employer, the whole process can feel overwhelming. That’s where Foreign Teacher comes in.
At ForeignTeacher.co.uk, we connect passionate teachers with verified jobs across China, and we do it without charging candidates a single penny. Yes, really.
Here’s how our recruitment service works, what makes us different, and why teachers from around the world trust us to help them begin their adventure abroad.
Why Use Free ESL Recruitment Services?
The Challenges of Going It Alone
If you’ve ever scrolled through job boards or Facebook groups for ESL jobs in China, you’ve probably seen it all: vague job descriptions, recruiters demanding upfront fees, or positions that sound too good to be true.
The truth is, there are great opportunities out there—but not all schools or agents operate transparently. It’s easy to get caught up in red tape, miscommunication, or worse, misrepresentation.
That’s why working with a reliable, teacher-first recruitment partner matters.
What Makes Foreign Teacher Different?
We Only Work with Trusted Schools and Agents
Foreign Teacher was founded by people who’ve taught in China. We know what it’s like to be on the ground, and we’ve experienced the good—and the not-so-good—firsthand. That’s why we personally vet every agency we work with.
We make sure they:
Offer legal, Z visa–compliant positions
Provide fair salaries and working conditions
Respect teachers as educators—not just entertainers
You don’t need to navigate the system alone. We’ve already done the legwork for you.
We’re Free—Always
Let’s be clear: we never charge teachers for our recruitment services.
The only costs you’ll encounter are for your own visa-related documents (like background checks or medical exams) which you’ll organise from home. Once you’re hired, most employers reimburse your visa fees and cover all processing costs inside China.
We’re paid by the schools—not you—so there’s zero financial risk to working with us.
What the Process Looks Like
Step 1: Apply Through Our Website
Start by submitting your application on ForeignTeacher.co.uk. We will contact you back with instructions straight away. You’ll tell us about your experience, preferences, and what kind of role you’re looking for. Whether you want a bustling megacity or a quiet town, we’ll help you find the right fit.
Step 2: Get Matched with the Right Opportunities
Our team will match you with schools that suit your profile. We’ll talk you through each offer, provide background on the schools, and answer any questions you have.
We never push jobs—we focus on what’s best for you.
Step 3: Interview with Confidence
We’ll give you guidance before interviews to help you present yourself professionally. Many teachers feel unsure during this part of the process, so we offer honest advice and encouragement—like a supportive friend who’s been there.
Step 4: Navigate the Visa Process with Help
Once you accept an offer, we’ll walk you through the entire visa process. We’ve even built a handy China Visa Guide to help you keep track of what documents you’ll need and when.
Even though you’ll pay for the document prep in your home country, schools usually cover the visa fees within China—and many offer contract completion bonuses or flight reimbursements, too.
What to Expect as a Teacher in China
Focus on Education—Not Performance
There’s a common pressure among new teachers to make every lesson high-energy and entertaining. While engagement matters, it’s more important to focus on clear, consistent teaching that helps your students grow.
Foreign Teacher encourages schools to value teachers as professionals—not performers.
We support you in prioritising:
Student progress over flashy games
Clear communication over perfection
Consistency and care over showmanship

And with our help, you can do all of this without taking on unnecessary risks or hidden costs.
